Eduard Reimann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Reimann (born January 4, 1833 in Dresden , † November 10, 1898 in Würzburg ) was a German actor and theater director .

Life

At first Reimann worked as an actor in the roles of a youthful lover and bon vivant . Later he was theater director of the German theaters in Troppau , Krakow , Linz and, most recently, from 1862 to 1870 in Timisoara . He was also a director in Sibiu ( Transylvania ) from time to time. Because of his frequent changes he was called a "gypsy" in professional circles.

After working in Timisoara, Reimann took over the management of the Würzburg City Theater, which opened in 1805, in 1870 . In the following year, 1871, he was also appointed director of the Royal Kurtheater Bad Kissingen , which opened in 1857 . This combination was officially agreed so that in this way the ensemble of the Würzburg City Theater could also be employed during the summer break in Bad Kissingen during the course season. While Reimann had made a name for himself in Timişoara with great operettas , operas and large pieces of equipment , in Bad Kissingen, where he was also the entrepreneur of the Kurkapelle, he was a friend of comedies , which made up about half of the repertoire in his repertoire. Possibly it was more in line with the more superficial entertainment needs of the spa guests.

Reimann held these two directorships in personal union for almost 30 years until his death in 1898. He was succeeded by his son, the actor Otto Reimann , who was only 27 years old .
